A Consulting Team Led by a Proven Food Safety Auditor

Every project is led by Dave Seddon, FoodReady’s Chief Food Safety Officer. With more than 500 completed audits and recognition as an SQF Auditor of the Year finalist, Dave brings an auditor’s insight to every engagement. He understands what certifiers and regulators look for and helps Iowa food companies align their documentation, hazard analysis, and records with those expectations. Under his direction, our Food Safety Consultants in Iowa build systems that are not only compliant but also practical for your staff to run every day.

North Carolina-Focused Food Safety Consulting Services

North Carolina’s food industry includes poultry and meat processors, beverage and bottling plants, fresh produce operations, and cold storage facilities that serve regional and national markets. FoodReady’s consulting solutions are tailored for this diversity, helping every facility establish and sustain programs that meet certification standards and inspection requirements.

We begin each engagement with a thorough gap assessment, reviewing existing documentation, process flows, sanitation systems, and monitoring records. Based on findings, we build or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans specific to your products and operations. Our consultants then integrate supporting programs, such as sanitation and SSOPs, allergen management, supplier approval, traceability and recall, calibration, and pest control, into a unified system.

FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting North Carolina services prepare facilities for HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI certifications like BRC and FSSC 22000. We also assist with FSMA Preventive Controls and FSMA 204 traceability readiness, as well as USDA and FDA documentation support. Each program we deliver is designed for everyday use—simple to follow, easy to verify, and fully aligned with certification requirements.
